IPod Stuck On "Waiting For Changes To Be Applied"

Hello guys,
I put a handful of CDs on my computer recently and I do want them on my iPod. Unfortunately, in the last two times I have tried, the bar simply gets stuck on "Waiting for changes to be applied". It will not budge nor go any further.
I'm running iOS 5.1.1 on my iPod touch 4, and I also have quite an extensive library to my definition. This has never been an issue, though.
Help?

    Bought some new songs on I-Tunes, when I connect any of my I-Pods (we have a Touch, Nano and an older Classic 32G) to sync the songs it gets stuck on "Waiting for changes to be applied"??? I've tried restoring my I-Pod touch but this hasn't fixed the issue, it still gets stuck. Should I try reinstalling I-Tunes?

  • Ipad synce stuck on Waiting for changes to be applied

    I have an ipad Mini running on IOS8. A Mac book Air running on OS X 10.9.5.
    For hours and hours I have been trying to synce my iPad, and syncing is stuck on "Waiting for Changes to be applied"
    I spent time restoring the full iPad, erased everything, put it back again...still stuck over and over again....
    And now the good news is : THere is no song left on my iPad > Nothing I lost everything.
    It have looked in this blog, it seems that people have been suffering on this issue for months and months.
    I was about to buy the iPhone6...but frankly, Apple products =yncing is becoming a nightmare.
    please APPLE do sometihng about, fix it NOW if you want people to purchase your products. The very reason why Apple WAS so successful was because of the simplicity. All this is gone now. Now you need to become an IT expert and spend hours getting into the systems to fix this or that yourself.
    Please apple DO SOMETHING NOW QUICK.

  • IPhone 6 stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied" when syncing.

    I got a new iPhone 6 a few days ago and I put everything onto it (music, photos, contacts, etc) with no problem from a previous iPhone backup. This morning I tried to sync my phone with iTunes and while the music is listed on the music app on the phone, NONE of it will play and every track has the square with a circle around it that shows its download progress while syncing.
    Why is this happening and how do I fix it? All I want is my entire library on my phone but it won't sync. (Also I should have plenty of room on my phone, I got the 128 GB and only have ~30 GB of music) Now on the status bar it says I have 30 GB of music and 30 GB of "other," but none of my songs will play. Also iTunes will get stuck on "Waiting For Changes to Be Applied" and won't finish syncing.
    I'm syncing a new iPhone 6 128 GB running 8.1.2 with a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.1.
    Any help fixing this problem via link or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • HT1535 ting stuck on "Waiting for changes to be applied" does i keep trying to sync my iphone 4s but it wont finish the sync it keeps getting stuck on anyone know why ?

    i keep trying to sync my iphone 4s but it wont finish the sync it keeps getting stuck on "Waiting for changes to be Applied" has anyone had a similar problem? and what should i do ?

    I know that most of these posts were put up a little while ago
    But.
    I too had a similar problem and an "error" message (waiting for changes to be applied)
    - my thoughts were:
    Something to do with update to IOS 7.4
    Corruption
    Itunes software issue
    After a LOT of research, I found a simple step that solved this issue for me.
    I had been running my sync (pre - IOS 7.4) as automatic - see the options section under the summary tab
    This can be viewed when you click on your device - right up the top you'll see tabs
    SUMMARY / INFO / APPS / TONES / MUSIC / MOVIES / TV SHOWS / BOOKS / PHOTOS etc.
    I changed my selection to manually manage music and videos and tried another sync
    Wha La!
    It began to copy over 700 songs that had not properly synced to my Ipad 2
    BONUS: it then started to sync my videos again.
    Hope this helps somebody.
    It certainly made my life less frustrating
    Downside: I have to MANUALLY manage - but it's better than all the hassles
    NB: I don't know why this error occurs and I'm not sure this fix will work for everyone's issues but it can't hurt.

  • I cant sync downloaded music to my iphone, itunes stuck at waiting for changes to be applied

    I have a iPhone 4s ios 7.0.4 and i download some mp3 songs from mp3skull.com, but when i try to sync them to my iPhone from itunes it gets stuck at waiting for changes to be applied. and the songs wont sync. PLEASE HELP

    I have had this problem and I hope this works (it did for me and I also had an iPhone 4S - 7.1.2)
    1) Plug your iPhone in to iTunes.
    2) If it automatically starts syncing click the 'X' to cancel the sync as quickly as you can.
    3) Once the Sync has cancelled, navigate to:
    'File' > 'Devices' > 'Transfer purchases from "_______ iPhone"
    4) Wait for Purchases to transfer.
    5) Update Apps on iTunes.
    6) Wait for that to finish.
    7) Try and Sync again.
    8) This time it should work.
    ----CONTINUE READING IF THIS DOESN'T WORK----
    9) Click 'Restore iPhone'
    10) Let iPhone restore (could take 20 minutes)
    11) Set up as a 'New iPhone' and sync your music.
    ----OTHER THINGS TO CHECK BEFORE YOU RESTORE----
    1) Is your iPhone running the latest software version?
    2) Is your iTunes running the latest software version?
    3) Are your songs in an unsupported File format?
    4) Are your songs corrupted?
    5) Have you transferred purchases and updated all apps on iTunes?
    -----OTHER THINGS YOU COULD DO-----
    1) Re-install iTunes (could work - probably won't but you can give it a try)
    2) Delete all music off phone (again probably won't work but you could give it a try)
    3) Re-start your phone by holding the 'Home/Touch ID' button and the lock button at the same time and hold until the Apple logo appears.
    ----NOTES-----
    Since updating to iOS 8 and iTunes 12 I haven't had this problem.  You might want to update to iOS 8.1 and iTunes 12 - this could solve the problem too.
         Thanks

  • My iTouch keeps getting stuck on "Waiting for changes to be applied"

    Hi, I just bought an iTouch 5 only 2 months ago and I'm having trouble because it won't sync my music. It keeps getting stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied." I have over 3000 songs and I have several playlists, it wouldn't sync all at once so I tried syncing it by playlist. It worked for a few songs and every time I add more, it just gets stuck. I've been trying to solve this for weeks now and it's stressing me out. I've read the stuff in this forum and I've tried people's solutions but I still haven't solved this problem.

  • IOS 7 stuck on waiting for changes to be applied

    ever since iOS 7, my phone won't sync with iTunes. I've updated my iTunes but it is stuck on 'waiting for changes to be applied'. People suggested unchecking the sync music box then rechecking. I did that but it didn't help. I now have no music and it will not go back on

    My itunes wouldn't sync my videos on to the ipad and the progress got up to "waiting for changes to be applied". I've tried a lot of things including:
    Restart Computer
    Delete voice memos
    Close all active apps
    Restore iPad

  • IPod Touch 5th Generation sync stuck on "Waiting for Changes to be applied" what do I do?

    Brand new ipod touch 64GB will not sync with my itunes account.  I have an older ipod with more than 12,000 songs that syncs with no issues but when I try to sync this new one it gets stuck on step 4 and it states, "Waiting for Changes to be applied" and does nothing else. I will give this a little more time before sending it back for a refund and never buying another apple product.  You would think that a device who's primary job is to hold and play music from its own website could actually work. (running version 7.1.2)

    Did you restore the iPod? Including restoring to factory settings/new iPod.
    Did you:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Have you tried on another computer?

    For the last week I have not been able to put any music on my iPod. I tried figuring it out for atleast 6 hours today but no luck.
    Things I tried ::
    - Installing new version of iTunes
    - Reinstalling iTunes
    - Restore my iPod from back up
    - Restore my iPod from faculty settings [ tried 5 times ]
    - "Recreated" my iTunes from doing this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    - Tried different wires to hook up to laptop
    Does anyone have any idea what will make it work again? Kind of ***** not listening to anything .. . ;3
    thanks.

  • Itunes stuck at "waiting for changes to be applied" after ios5 download.

    I downloaded and installed ios5 to my iphone 4 successfully.  Then I went through all the apps on my phone and there were more than 50% apps missing.  Then I went back into iTunes and realized that they were there to dl again, which I did.  Now I'm stuck at syncing my phone with iTunes with all the re-downloaded apps.  I'm stuck at the message that says "Waiting for changes to be applied".  I've already ejected my iPhone once to restart, but same message from iTunes.  It has already been 8 hours being stuck at the same message from iTunes.  What should I do?  Any suggestions?

    WAS having this trouble with Itouch3 and 5.1.1 I tried restoring from backups and as a new device, both locked up. Regardless of whether you want to restore as new device or backup, go through the process (the fastest way is to use the IOS you downloaded already by holding shift and left mouse button on Restore button on Itunes device summary page in (windows) and selecting the latest IOS from [C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates] 'admin' is the user that installed itunes, confirm restore.When itunes gets done wiping, reloading the IOS and is asking if you want to use New Device or Restore from backup, that's where you pick up the device and run through all the questions it has regarding logging into wifi, tou, using icloud (I chose no on cloud) and logging into apple with your itunes account. When all the questions are answered and your device is on it's home page looking like it's done, hit home twice to bring up running apps, settings is probably there, hit the red x on it, home button to get back to home page, repeat to make sure apps are shut down, NOW you are ready to proceed with itunes. Now you can choose restore as new or use backup from computer. I think the trouble is that now you can supposedly restore your iwhatever from the cloud with no computer, on the touch it seems to set device to do just that and it conflicts with the itunes restoration. This place should be able to send me email if there is something that didn't make sense. Hope this helps.
